 12 Dec 2011, Michael Murray, Bug Report, bk_delete uses memcpy instead of memmove
|
In midas.c, the bk_delete function removes a bank by decrementing the total
event size and then copying the remaining banks into the location of the first
using memcpy from string.h.

I am using the MSCB SCS2000 to monitor slow control variables (temperatures, voltages, etc). I am trying to
get it set up at fermilab as a test stand in the MC1 building and was wondering if anyone has integrated
Midas with a MSCB SCS2000 before. We have two systems at fermilab, one system that is currently running

As the Midas software is installed using CMake, it can be easily integrated into
other CMake projects using the MidasConfig.cmake file produced during the Midas
installation.

Hi,

16 Sep 2024, Mark Grimes, Bug Report, Crash using ODB watch
|
Hi,
Maybe I've misunderstood the code, but odb::watch() creates a deep copy of itself to set the watch to. The comment where this happens specifies that this
is in case the current one goes out of scope. See https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/src/2878647fb73648474b35223ce53a125180f751b3/src/odbxx.cxx#lines-1393:1395

08 Oct 2024, Mark Grimes, Bug Report, Difficulty running MIDAS on Rocky 9.4
|
We run Midas with no problems on Rocky 9.4, although not in a virtual machine. We're very close to the head of `develop`.
I'm fairly sure I've seen an error like this before. I didn't pay it much attention because it was transitory and I was doing something weird at the time |

Hi,
I have a manalyzer that uses a derived class of TMFeRpcHandlerInterface to communicate information to

Hi,
The question was about the TMFeRpcHandlerInterface, not the TARunObject interface. Derived classes of TARunObject do indeed work as expected in our
environment. We have worked around the issue by using an implementation of TARunObject as well as the (separate) implementation of

26 Mar 2025, Mark Grimes, Forum, TMFeRpcHandlerInterface::HandleEndRun when running offline on a Midas file

This was exactly the question, should I expect it to run? There's no point in the HandleBinaryRpc method offline, but there's an argument that the HandleBeginRun/HandleEndRun
methods have a use.
I have the answer and we have a workaround, thanks.

04 Jun 2025, Mark Grimes, Bug Report, Memory leak in mhttpd binary RPC code

Hi,
During an evening of running we noticed that memory usage of mhttpd grew to close to 100Gb. We think we've traced this to the following issue when making
RPC calls.

Hi,
We applied an intermediate fix for this locally and it seems to have fixed our issue. The attached plot shows the percentage memory use
on our machine with 128 Gb memory, as a rough proxy for mhttpd memory use. After applying our fix mhttpd seems to be happy using ~7% of the memory |

Many thanks for the fix. We've applied and see better memory performance. We still have to kill and restart
mhttpd after a few days however. I think the official fix is missing this part:

04 Jul 2025, Mark Grimes, Bug Report, Memory leaks in mhttpd

Something changed in our system and we started seeing memory leaks in mhttpd again. I guess someone
updated some front end or custom page code that interacted with mhttpd differently.
I found a few memory leaks in some (presumably) rarely seen corner cases and we now see steady
